Private or one-on-one yoga sessions for kids with developmental and intellectual disabilities offer a personalized, supportive environment where each child can thrive at their own pace. These classes are tailored to meet the unique needs of the child, incorporating adaptive yoga poses, breathwork, and mindfulness techniques to support physical, emotional, and cognitive development.
The focus of these sessions is on fostering body awareness, emotional regulation, and social-emotional skills in a non-judgmental, safe space. Through gentle movements and calming exercises, children are encouraged to explore their bodies, enhance their motor skills, and build strength and flexibility in a way that is accessible to them. Yoga also helps children develop important coping skills, reduce anxiety, and increase their ability to focus and calm their minds.
Each session is designed with the child’s individual preferences, abilities, and sensory needs in mind. Modifications to poses and activities are made to ensure comfort and success, and I provide consistent encouragement to help build confidence and independence. Whether it's through simple stretching, breathing exercises, or mindfulness practices, each class aims to create a sense of peace and empowerment for the child.
By offering a personalized approach, one-on-one yoga sessions allow kids with developmental and intellectual disabilities to experience the many benefits of yoga in a way that respects their individual abilities, needs, and challenges. This tailored practice can greatly enhance their overall well-being and help them build skills that can be used both on and off the mat.

Group Classes
Group yoga classes for both neurotypical and neurodivergent children create an inclusive, supportive environment where all children can develop body awareness, emotional regulation, and social skills. These classes are designed to be adaptable, providing a space for children of varying abilities to practice yoga together, fostering a sense of community and mutual respect.
In addition to yoga poses, breathwork, and mindfulness activities, we incorporate fun games that engage children and encourage movement in a playful, interactive way. These games promote focus, coordination, and teamwork while helping children build social skills and positive connections with their peers. Mindfulness and awareness training are key components of the class, allowing children to develop coping strategies, manage stress, and improve emotional regulation in an enjoyable and accessible way.
With tailored modifications and support, every child can participate comfortably and successfully. Through this holistic approach, group yoga classes nurture mental, emotional, and physical growth, benefiting all children by celebrating their unique abilities and fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.
Yoga Birthday Parties
Yoga birthday parties offer a unique and fun way to celebrate a special day with friends and family while promoting movement, mindfulness, and maybe even some relaxation. These parties are tailored to the birthday child’s preferences and age group, and we can even theme the party based on the child’s interests, such as animals, superheroes, or a favorite story, making the experience even more exciting and personal.
The party includes a gentle yoga flow, breathing exercises, and mindfulness practices designed to create a calm and joyful atmosphere. We play games that incorporate yoga poses, allowing the children to move, laugh, and connect while learning the basics of yoga in a playful way. Themed activities and games are woven into the session to keep everyone engaged and entertained.
Yoga birthday parties not only provide a memorable experience but also encourage cooperation, focus, and self-awareness. It’s the perfect way to combine celebration with well-being, leaving everyone feeling relaxed, happy, and inspired. The birthday child will feel celebrated and empowered in a peaceful, fun, and supportive environment.
